    Already Dead Tapes was kind enough to press a small batch of cassettes for Where The Music Goes To Die. They come with a free download card. So if you don't have access to a cassette player you can still listen to the album digitally. With a finely made alternative album cover designed by the brilliant Elise Powell, this high quality cassette is a really neat piece of merchandise. A cool keepsake for you, and you'll get that warm almost-sickening glow that accompanies helping out a struggling artist like myself. Seriously... I could use the money. You don't wanna know. It's bleak..

    Includes unlimited streaming of Where The Music Goes To Die via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

I’ve been working on this new song
that has been worked on
one million times before
by men much more eloquent
than I am.

And I’m sure you know it well,
it’s about waking up in hell
and trying your very best
to create heaven.

Well, Adam once stood
where you stand, my friend.
We watched as he fell
to the Earth.

Eve, too, we all knew
her fate in the end.
She was a scapegoat
from the moment of birth.

There’s nothing
all that shameful in that.

I’ve been working on this new song
that has been worked on
one million times before
by men much more eloquent
than I am.

I know you know it well.
It’s buried deep inside your cells,
and it’s crying out like a prophet
cries towards heaven.


We watched as those
Towers of Babylon
fell down like
twin plums to the Earth

and for a moment we
heard no one babel on
and on about their
own self worth.

There was something
quite honest in that.

I think, all things considered, the songs I write are much more listenable than the songs I don't write.
